DYB RR

Here is a picture of my block with the beaded butterfly. On one hand I am pretty pleased with the butterfly. It took a long time to do. (Well, I did have quite a few interruptions since I did this on the weekend and the kids were home.) I should have used different colored beads or put the butterfly in a different spot. There is no contrast here so the butterfly doesn't stand out. After all that work I want the butterfly to be the focal point. I will definitely be trying this again!
I forgot to mention that I found the pattern in CQMagonline. I don't have the link handy so I will edit this post when I find it.

Here is a link to the actual article I read. Beaded Fabric Motifs However, I did a search and found a few more interesting beaded articles!

DYB RR

I'm sitting here working on my DYB RR block. The Met game is on TV. I can pretend that it is summer outside.
I just thought I would show a picture of my block in progress. I love it when people do this, so why shouldn't I. My plan for this afternoon is to add a beaded butterfly. I hope it comes close to looking like one. I'll be adding a picture when I finish.

I was rearranging my sewing room again. It just wasn't working the way I had set it up. I even sat on the floor and sorted my fabrics by color. Well, my quilting cottons that I keep in a big tub under the table. Joanns had a good sale and I picked up more fabric to make a quilt to match the wallhanging that I finished. If that room wasn't such a mess all the time I could have pieced a quilt by now!
I finally found my blocks from a DYB RR that I was in. This was a great RR!! A lot of fun. I am planning to put my blocks together into a wallhanging. I laid them all out and was intimidated by them! They are such great blocks I really didn't know where to start on the one I have to finish. I was actually thinking I would just use the 5 completed bocks. Chicken that I am! I'm going to have to hang these blocks up until I get inspired to finish the last one.
This weeks stitch in TAST is detached chain. This was the first stitch I learned as a child but I called it lazy daisy. And I am sad to say that I can't remember who taught it to me. I hope it was a book and that is why I can't remember. I haven't started that sampler yet. Behind already! Seems to be the story of my life.
